The love of the plant and the process! At my old farm, my vegetable garden saved me lots of money, but not so much the way you would think! I loved my veggie garden! It was a great stress reliever from Corporate America! No anger management classes needed.........even with PTSD. No sitting on a couch talking to a damn psychiatrist, counselor or some other retard. Sound sleep from hard work and great nutritious food in your belly! Enriching your mind in discovering the intertwining relationships in all the participants of this thing we call nature. The satisfaction of leaving the land in a far better condition when you arrived upon the scene.
